Wanted to experience authentic Quebecois cuisine, went here. It is a quiet spot with plenty of space per table, you are not crowded. Server was the most pleasant young woman ever, 5 star. I had an appetizer, the meat pie, which was really good. My sister had the meat pie/tourtiere plate with beans & other sides, the size serving she got was the same as my appetizer. I also got the onion soup which was OK, but the cheese somewhat gritty, I don't know what sort of cheese goes in Quebecois onion soup, but not what I was expecting. My sister got a buffalo steak dish with blueberry sauce, which she said was good. Glad we came, but we decided true Quebecois cuisine is not our favorite type of cuisine, it is very heavy. You only need a very few bites.

My hubby is from Quebec & he wanted an authentic Canadian meal & this place did not disappoint. The food was fantastic & we got their lunch special soup /appetizer starter with entry a beer & dessert all included & a lot of wonderful food. The pie was to die for as well thank you for making us feel back home again after being away for so long. I love also the decor & the vintage dresses on the server it was being in a different time. Do your self a favor & have lunch here you will have no regrets. Enjoy & Viva Quebec

dinner here was a strange, wonderful experience. the atmosphere, in a truly old building with haphazard decor, is eclectic & homely. the service was friendly, kind, & full of humour from start to finish. we really liked jacob, who took good care of us. the food was thoughtful & felt nourishing to the body & soul. we defaulted to the most quebec-y options & loved every course, from the pea soup to the meat pie to the maple syrup pie. it felt like eating chez mamie. full of good food, we couldn't help but encourage some fellow tourists on the sidewalk to go in & eat immediately! it was easily the most expensive meal we had all weekend, but we had zero regrets.

We really enjoyed this restaurant in the heart of Old Quebec! The food was absolutely amazing! We tried two soups, split pea & the chef's soup, both delicious! We devoured them immediately, so no pictures, sadly. We shared the grandma's plate with meat pie & a variety of sides, everything was so full of flavor & incredibly delicious! For dessert, we had thr Maple Syrup Pie & the Maple Syrup Bread Pudding, amazingly packed with flavor!
Our server was very attentive, cheerful & ready to fill our water glasses each time he stopped at the table. We felt very spoiled by his friendly attention.
The atmosphere is extremely charming, combining old & modern features & decor. & don't miss the bathrooms! A cute little closet with unique features!
Highly recommended this spot, its the oldest French building in Quebec & offers amazing food & service!

A classic French restaurant with a small but well-curated menu that delivers traditional French flavors. The Beef Wellington was well executed & enjoyable. Unfortunately, the French onion soup was overly salty. I was also disappointed that the Chef's Choice was another puff pastry dish with ham & cheese. Since we had already ordered the Beef Wellington, it felt repetitive rather than thoughtfully paired. The food was good overall, but the preparation lacked the variety & creativity I expected from chef's choice.

The absolute best French onion soup I have ever had. Perfect yummy cheesy crust & a delicious broth a must have to start. I had grandmas treats as my main & it was perfect. Service was awesome & the venue is so old & historical. Just a great dining experience.

We had a really lovely meal here the other day. Our server, I believe his name was Nicholas, was wonderful! He was extremely friendly & accommodating. The food was delicious, if expensive. I am extremely picky & normally hate pea soup, but I thought it was incredible. The interior had gorgeous wood carving wall decorations, & I felt like I could really feel the history of the place! Would definitely return next time I'm in Quebec City.
